Synopsis of Class
For those who brave the cold and sometimes harsh condition of trout fishing in the winter months the pay off can be big.  Trout love cold water and usually stay active and feeding throughout the winter months.  If you are luck enough to have a tail water which hold the trout you fish for they are even more active because the water usually is warmer. 

Slow and deep is the tactic called for while winter trout fishing.  Usually small and nymphs are the desired flies.  However, you might get some warm weather and even be able to fish dry flies.   For this tying class we will tie three productive flies for fishing the cold months of the year.  Midges are also another standard trout pattern during the winter time.  Look for FlyMasters to have another Midge fly tying class later this winter.  In the mean time, you can check out the flies we tied up in our last Midge class.

The flies we will tie are,
